Section 5: Slideout Systems
Operating the switch after the room is fully extended or retracted may damage the switch
and motor.
After the slideout is extended, visually inspect the slideout and
the surrounding area to make sure the slideout has extended
properly and has adequate clearance from any outside obstruc-
tions.
If the slideout is equipped with rubber seals, verify that the
corners of the black rubber seal are set up correctly. The seal
corners are cut at a 45° angle. The top of the outside seal must
overlap the side of the seal to avoid the possibility of water pen-
etration. On the inside seal, the side seal should overlap the top.
NOTE: For long-term storage it is recommend the room be closed
(retracted).
General Slideout Troubleshooting Checklist
NOTE: For additional troubleshooting information, refer to the
specific slideout system detail.
If the slideout does not move when the slideout switch is depressed, follow these steps:
Check the auxiliary battery (customer supplied) for a full charge and good wire
connections.
Check the 12-volt fuse or circuit breaker.
Check for loose connections at the slideout motor.
If the slideout still will not operate, follow these steps:
If the slideout is extended, refer to the section on operating the specific slideout
system installed on your RV.
If the slideout is retracted, leave it in that position.
If the slideout extends crooked or only one side moves:
Follow steps on overriding the specific slideout system installed on your RV.
You may need to push the side that is not sliding to get it to retract all the way.
Contact your dealer or customer service for repair assistance.
Slideout Systems
Your RV may be equipped with one or more of the following slideout systems.

For optimum performance, the slideout system requires full battery current and voltage.

keep the seals and internal moving parts lubricated.
